Now, as you might be aware, these are all scans of the issues released by Studio Ironcat. These issues split up the chapters in an odd way, since each comic issue is exactly 36 pages long (including front and back covers).

Hello everyone! Today I bring you two chapters as part of a joint project with Limerent Void Scans. Anada provided the translation, I helped proofread it alongside Kokiden, and I did the cleaning and typesetting.

Well damn! It’s been quite a while since my first actual scanlation release, way back in September 2016. In fact, it’s been almost a full two years! :O
Of course, this is mostly just because I do lots of work with other groups, and I typically just release things under their name for simplicity’s sake.
However, since I was the only graphics editor on these chapters, I thought perhaps I should make it a joint project this time around.

Now, if you’ve heard of this series before, you might be aware that the first chapter was released previously, as a joint between Limerent Void and Golden Roze Scans. You may also be aware that I tend to do work with Golden Roze Scans, and you might be wondering what happened. Well, I don’t want to get into scanlation politics too much, but suffice to say, I had a hand in that version as well. However, this new version of Chapter 1 is a revised version, with the script being proofed again, and gone over with a fine comb to find any errors that were missed the first time around. I would say it’s definitely an improvement over the first version, but feel free to read it and find out for yourself.

The third chapter is already in progress, so look forward to it hopefully pretty soon.

Hey there, everyone! Thought I’d make a status page here which I could update occasionally to give you some more information on what I’m currently working on, as well as what raw manga volumes I have available that I haven’t scanned in yet. If you have any requests for what I should scan next from this list, or which project you want me to work on next, feel free to tell me in the comments. Of course, I’ll still mostly just work on what I want to, but I tend to get more motivated if people have an active interest in what I’m working on.

Blue Giant[Status: Active?] [My Role: QC] – I’d like to say this one is active, since there’s a team at Golden Roze who are actively interested in it, but progress on cleaning has been slow. Vol 3 has been completely scanned. Ch 17 is being cleaned.

Eater[Status: On Hold] [My Role: Everything] – You know, now that I think about it, I’m not sure why I didn’t release this here at Jammin’ Scans. I think maybe I didn’t have the site up yet. Anyway, when I say everything, that also includes translation. I’m not much of a translator, however… which is why releases have been slow on this. However, chapter 4 is completely translated, cleaned, and is pending typesetting.

Full Ahead! Coco Zervance[Status: On Hold] [My Role: Proofreading, and possibly more] – Holding off on this until the original series is complete. Chapters 1-3 have been translated by MinoSpelgud. We’ve been obtaining the digital magazine raws every month. I’m hoping to catch up and release alongside the magazine chapters every month, soon after they’re released in Japanese.

Mr. Clice[Status: On Hold] [My Role: Proofreading, Cleaning, Typesetting] – This is another one I’d like to catch up to and work on the stuff currently coming out of Japan. Vol 1 has been entirely scanned, and Chapters 4 & 5 have been translated by Dumbnut. I’ve proofread and cleanned 4, now I’ve just got to typeset it. Maybe I’ll get back to this one soon.

Sunset Rose [Status: On Hold] [My Role: Proofreading, Cleaning, Typesetting QC] – Translations have been completed up to ch 45. Ch 10-13 have all basic cleans done and are pending redrawing (which is my responsibility as cleaner). Ch 8 & 9 have been fully cleaned, and are pending typesetting.

Sultan Boueitai [Status: On Hold] [My Role: Proofreading, Typesetting] – Gosh, this is one of those cases where it’s a project that I really love but for some reason has been completely put on the backburner for me… Maybe it’s just because I haven’t done any typesetting in a while, but that’s not any excuse, honestly. The rest of the volume has been fully translated & cleaned already. I should really get back to it.

Scanlation work for Jammin’ Scans:

Ragnarok Guy[Status: Planned] [My Role: Proofreading, Cleaning, Typesetting] – I have public raws for all 7 volumes, as well as translations I’ve obtained for all chapters. I’d like to start working on this at some point.

General Scanning

This is essentially a list of manga I currently own that I might scan in at some point but haven’t gotten around to yet. I’ve separated them into “raw manga” and “out-of-print official English manga. I’ve also included a wishlist, mostly for my own reference, of manga I’d like to buy in the future for scanning purposes.

Raw Manga:

Akihiko Kaku Katari by OOSHIMA Yumiko [single vol] (note: Got this in a bundle of random manga, unless there’s high demand for it, I’ll likely wait a while before scanning this one.)

Kochikame [Status: Active] [My Role: QC, Song Translation] – Working on this one with ATTKC. They release random episodes, and I QC them when ready. I also carefully translate the openings and endings. Episode 228 is currently awaiting my QC.

Mama is a 4th Grader [Status: On Hold] [My Role: fine timing, proofreading, typesetting, QC] – I obtained translations for every episode a while ago, which prompted me to start releasing them over at Golden Roze, but then it went on the backburner, and it’s been there for a while now… I figured it’d be easy to do alongside everything else, but I just got so caught up with other things… I’ll get back to it some day.

Other Projects at Live-Evil [Status: On Hold] [My Role: QC] – Leo is the main thing I’m focused on at Live-Evil, but I also QC other stuff when it pops up. Not much has been popping up lately, however.

Plenty of projects at Orphan Fansubs [Status: Active] [My Role: QC] – I’m working on a lot of stuff over there as a quality checker. For more information on the status of their projects, you can go check out their own status page which Collectr tends to keep updated now & then.

Been a while since I’ve uploaded any raw scans, so here’s another one. I’ve got another series from Satomi Mikuriya, a single-volume, 8-chapter series called “Thunderbirds”.
Based on a quick machine-assisted translation I did of the plot synopsis on the inside flap (You can see my translation of it on MangaUpdates), It tells the rise and fall of a professional skiier known as “The Black Lightning”. There’s a few scenes with guns, though… so I’m not sure what that’s all about. I’m also not sure when it was originally serialized, but the volume was released on December 25th, 1978 (Yay! Christmas!) by Futabasha under their Action Comics label.

Well hey there! I don’t have just one, but three new scans of Studio Ironcat’s release of Cutie Honey ’90 for you.
These three issues finish off volume 1. Not sure exactly how many chapters were collected in them, since Studio Ironcat didn’t always put the chapter titles on the title pages, and the chapters were sometimes split up between issues. It’s really kind of a shitshow, honestly. But, well, at the very least the wraparound cover for issue #5 looks pretty neat.

Hey, anybody else been watching Cutie Honey Universe?
I’ve been posting scans of Studio Ironcat’s 90’s manga, so I figured I would post some more Cutie Honey related stuff, this time related to the currently-airing TV anime… because who doesn’t like more Honey?

Anyway, this image starts with an image I sourced online from Newtype magazine, one which had a whole bunch of text placed on top of it, as you can see below. There was a lot of text to remove, and I can tell you, it wasn’t a short task, as it took me somewhere around 5 hours to complete. Anyway, I’ll post both versions below. If you’d like, feel free to use my redraw as your desktop background, that’s what I’ll be using it for! ^_^
